compared with the liabilities, indicate only
temporary embarrassment, which it is
hoped will be eventually overcome without
much loss, if any, to the creditors.
Relations with Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, January 2G.-Minister Car
ter, of the Hawaiian Islands, is daily ex-
pecting the arrival of VIM. Mcfarland,
Hawaiian Minister of Finance, who is on
his way to London to close the details of a
loan of $1,000,000 negotiated with British
capitalists. Carter says that the bonds do
not specifically contain pledge of the
revenues of the islands for their payment.
1t would be contrary to the treaty stipula-
tions with the United States for the King
to mortgage the revenues of his Govern
ment to citizens of any foreign power, and
the King had no intention of doing it. Car
ter hopes that Congress will ratify the new
treaty with the islands this year. The
political importance of maintaining the
treaty he regarded as paramount to every
other consideration, guaranteeing as it does
independence TO the islands and security to
the western coast of the United States.
Should Congress remove the duty on sugar,
the Hawaiian Government might not be
anxious to renew its treaty, particularly if
British Columbia held out inducement to
the islanders such as the United States
could not give.
Evading the Law.
WASHINGTON, January 2d.-Commis-
'sioner Colmans has written letter to Gov
ernor Oglesby, of Illinois, sharply protest
ing against what he terms violation, by
the Illinois State Live Stock Commission,
of the rules prepared by the Commissioner
of Agriculture to regulate cooperation
between the General Government and
States for the suppression of pleuro-pneu-
monia. He cites rule 10, providing that
"All animals affected with contagious
pleuro- pneumonia are to be slaughtered as
soon after their discovery as necessary
arrangements can be made" and says: 1t
is notorious that such affected animals were
not promptly slaughtered, either in the
distillery sheds, upon the Harvey farm, or
in other affected herds" He also calls
attention to other eyasions and infractions
of the law.

| informed as to the condition of the Presi-
| dent. The reports are simply without
| foundation"

| WASHINGTON, January 2d.-At Calumet
! Place to-day it was stated that no steps have
been taken toward selecting final resting
place for the remains of Logan. On New

| DIsintegration Begun.
| NEW YORK, January 2d.-The detection
| of the brewers from District Assembly No.
| 40, Knights of Labor, has caused consterna-
| tion in that district, for they have been, up
| to this time the most enthusiastic Knights
and one of the strongest Local Assemblies
in the district. Every effort was made to
| prevent them from taking such action, but
they were SO enraged at the action of the
Knights of Philadelphia that all pleadings
were in vain. By the Trades Unionists the
| detection is regarded as the beginning of
the disintegration of the Knights, and they
are consequently much yexed with it.
THE BAKERS QUIT, ALSO.
| Boston, January 2d.-The bakers of this
| city are organized into an Assembly of
Knights of Labor, but having become DIS
satisfied with the Order, are about to with
draw in body and form an open Trade
Union, which will be attached to the Ma
tional Bakers Union.
| Rescued from the Grave.
New York, January 2d.-Henry Weitz-
| schman, of Redlion Pa, died recently, af-
| ter short illness, and on Thursday the
| funeral was held. The coffin was lowered
| into the grave, but when the first shovelful
|
supposed dead man suddenly exclaimed
| that something told him to look once more
| on his fathers face that he felt there was
still life in the body. The coffin was with
drawn from the graveand opened and such
signs of life discovered that the funeral was
stopped and the body carried back to the
house. There the process of recovery con-
| tinued slowly until the man was restored to
consciousness. The presumption is that he
was in state of catalepSy.
The Liberty Torch Said to be in Danger.
NEW YORK, January 2d.-While in New
York few days ago Major David Parker
/ Heap, of the Lighthouse Board, made a
careful inspection of the Bartholdi Statue,
The report of his inspection says the torch
arm of the statue is particularly weak, and
| is liable to break, possibly entailing loss of
| life to visitors. Should the statue be placed
under the control of the Lighthouse Board
he would recommend that the arm be
| closed TO visitors. He also SAYS the statue
| is rapidly corroding, and in a few years it
will be eaten through. David II. King,
| Jr., who had charge of the erection of the
statue, characterizes the report as bosh.
